Dynamic Hyperextension Spine Brace

DURUS
DYNAMIC HYPEREXTENSION SPINE BRACE
Spine fracture
Area and degree of the spine fracture depend on a lot of factors such as: type and force of injury, Patient’s sex and age.
There are 4 basic kinds of spine fractures:
1) Compression Fracture – common in patients with osteoporosis or different diseases (e.g. bone cancer). Too much pressure on vertebra causes stress and a wedge fracture.
2) Burst Fracture – is caused by severe trauma (car accident), where extreme forces crushes the vertebrae. Unlike compression fractures, in a burst fracture, the vertebra is fractured in multiple places and bony fragments can spread out and cause spinal cord injury.
3) Flexion-distraction Fracture – it’s common as an result of pushing the body forward. The sudden movement places incredible stress on the spine and breaks a vertebra or vertebrae.
4) Extension Fracture – it’s hyperextension with anterior longitudinal ligament injury.
5) Fracture-dislocation – apart of vertebra flexion, there is dislocation also.
We use advanced stabilizing spine braces in non-operative and post-op treatment. In this case, Reh4Mat created 3 advanced back braces, providing complex Patient’s care after injury. There are: DURUS, TOTUS and CASTUS.

Product description
DURUS spine brace (ref: AM-WSP-03/TLSO) is made of high quality aluminum and steel covered hot powder. The brace stabilizes and off-loads the spine and special construction with rigid armpit prevents against the side flexion.
DURUS spine brace consists of:
- 2-splints, dynamic spine support with height adjustment and skin-friendly layer
- Soft back brace with orthopedic splints and stays
- A set of adjustable armpits with skin-friendly cover and chest pellotes
All of adjustment is made with only one added screwdriver.
2-splints dynamic frame off-loads and supports the spine and height adjustment is possible by only screwing. Width of the armpits is also adjusted and equipped with waterproof cover.
DURUS is the dynamic brace that improves weakness muscles. The frame has also a little plasticity what allows to fit the brace precisely but it should be applied by physician or PT.
Our spinal brace is covered by ActivSpace – great material where airflow is improved, sweat is decreased and 3D construction provides a little therapeutic vibration.
ActivSpace™ is a spacer, polyamide 3D lamination with high skin ventilation. It is very lightweight, consisted of 2 layers. Between them, we use polyamide braids with 4 mm width. ActivSpace™ is not elastic what improves stabilization. Inside the lamination, between 2 layers, the air flows freely, maintaining minimal water and moisture absorption. Waterproof material.
DURUS, in standard, is equipped with LSO back brace with additional splints and orthopedic stays. If you need, you can attach or remove your back brace, because of special Velcro attachment. This rear part is made of AirSANMED – perforated, very breathable material with medical certificate.
AirSanmed™ isn’t elastic what provides excellent stabilization. The skin has contact with cotton terry with Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certificate. There is semi-rigid perforated foam EVA inside that protect the skin against the metal splints influence. External side of the fabric is perforated medical laminate with antibacterial properties of Silver Zeolite. It provides long-term efficacy and prevents the most dangerous infectious microorganisms such as MRSA and E.coli. AirSanmed™ is in accordance with Health Minister`s ordinance of 3 November 2004 and Council Directive 93/42/EWG of 14 June 1993.
Our soft back brace has circumferential adjustment where you can cut unnecessary part off. It’s made of AirDistance II in this rear part.
AirDistance II™ is an innovative technological fabric. It’s 3-layered lamination, made of 3 parts: durable and self-gripping and polyamide layer, off-loading EVA foam and polyamide 3D spacer material. External part is used to attach hard components. EVA foam off-loads these splints and internal 3D spacer layer provides high air permeability and minimal water and moisture absorption. Waterproof material.
Lateral parts of DURUS is made of elastic, perforated material called AirRubber.
AirRubber™ has unidirectional elasticity and it’s breathable. This lamination is perforated. Between the braids air flows freely and skin can breathe. In addition in high compression, these rubber braids provide a gentle massage for skin. Our orthopedic rubber is very friendly for skin.
Feel safe even in your bathroom!
When you remove you soft back brace, you can use our DURUS spine frame in your shower and be still safe!
